BEYOND THE DARKNESS

Joe D'Amato,
Italy,
1979, Severin Films

It has been denounced as “revolting” (SplatterDay.com), “stomach-churning” (Classic-Horror.com) and “shower-prompting” (Fandor) -- while it’s simultaneously been acclaimed as “bone-chilling” (Chas Balun), “truly classic” (The Spinning Image) and “a must-see” (Horror.com).

Grief-stricken by his wife’s death, Frank can’t let go. So he taxidermies her body so he can keep her forever. When that doesn’t fulfill all his desires, Frank tries to find a living replacement…

Cinzia Monreale (THE BEYOND) and Franca Stoppi (THE OTHER HELL) star in this psychosexual sickie featuring torture, cannibalism, necrophilia, unrequited love and other perversions, totally uncensored and set to a pounding score by Goblin. We’re stoked to present the “ultra-graphic sleaze-fest” (Fright.com) also known as BUIO OMEGA -- for which director Joe D’Amato (PORNO HOLOCAUST, ANTHROPOPHAGUS) was infamously accused of using real corpses -- restored for the first time ever!
